A Portland woman has been banned from Deering Oaks park after being charged with spreading dog feces there as part of a vendetta against the park's weekly farmer's market.

Lora Leland, 53, of Sherman Street was caught in the middle of the night emptying 16 bags of dog feces in the road that winds through the center of the park, police said. She explained that she was angry at the Saturday morning farmer's market because it interfered with her ability to ride her bicycle through the park, police said.

Now, Leland must appear in court on a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief and has been served a criminal trespass order barring her from the park for a year. She faces as much as a year in jail, though authorities say she is more likely to be fined.
